OK, the actual lyrics, as he does them in the studio, are as
follows:
AA sus AA sus
A rainy afternoon
AA sus AA sus
Spent in the warmest room
E
She lay before me and said
DAAsusAA sus
"Yes it's true that I have seen some naked men"
As she made for the door
Leaving me on the floor
I wish I'd done biology
For an urge within me wanted to do it then
Chorus:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bragg_billy/warmest_room_crd.html ]E
And here she comes again
D
And I'm sitting on my hands
A
And she sings to me that siren song
ED
Here she comes again and I'm biting my lip
AA sus AAsus
But it won't be long
As Brother Barry said as he married Marion
The wife has three great attributes, Intelligence, a Swiss Army
knife and charm
But that's not enough some times
And she did speak her mind
And told them all that she believed
The only way to disarm is to disarm
Bridge
BmF#m
I know people whose Idea of fun
DADA
Is throwing stones in the river in the afternoon sun
BmF#m
Oh let me be as free as them
E
Don't let her pass this way again
Instrumental, play chords to the verses
Though you cannot be blamed, but I've become inflamed
With thoughts of lust and thoughts of power
thoughts of love and thoughts of Chairman Mao
We have such little time at your place or mine
I can't wait till we take our blood tests
Oh baby, let's take our blood tests now
Chorus again, then
AA sus AA sus EA
It won't be long
Admittedly, what Uncle Bill says in concert is different. He tends
to substitute "hairy" for "naked" in verse one and "drugs tests" for
"blood tests" during gigs, as William judiciously notes.
"She said it was only a figment of speech..."
